Figure Lengend Snippet: The attenuation of diabetes-induced osteoporosis through ANGPTL8 knockout. ( A ) Schematic representation of the diabetic osteoporosis model construction. ( B ) FBG levels in mice at the onset (0 weeks) and conclusion (20 weeks) of the experiment. ( C ) Body weight measurements of mice at the onset (0 weeks) and conclusion (20 weeks) of the experiment. ( D ) ELISA analysis for quantifying ANGPTL8 levels in mouse plasma. ( E ) Micro-CT imaging of mouse femurs. ( F - J ) Analysis of Micro-CT data for bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume fraction (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb.N), trabecular thickness (Tb.Th), and trabecular separation (Tb.Sp) in mouse femurs. Data are presented as mean ± SD; ( N = 5). ns: not significant, * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001
